the lyrics "don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright" danced out amid pictures of his frolicking childhood. at most other funerals, it would have seemed out of place. mocking almost.
what i remember vividly about him was his toothy grin. big blue eyes that lit up. how he always met a friend and how, even in high school, you were welcome at his table. he had a shimmer about him, waves of excitement for what each day would bring.
i woke up this morning not sure if i would go. not sure if someone who hadn't really spoken to him in almost 8 years should go. only 27. a tragedy. would i be just another gawker on the highway?
sitting in a middle chair of a side row, my prayer was one of thanks. "thank you God for letting me briefly know this person. for allowing his plain and powerful niceness in younger years echo through the years to now." my tears joined those paying tribute to a life of shortened joy. to a life of everlasting joy.
Lane Pauli. may the Lord keep you. always.
Thank you for honoring my husband with these beautiful words.
I do not know you, but you don't know how much it meant to me to come across this.
thank you
